Browsing security vulnerabilities in the GitHub Advisory Database

Sobre o GitHub Advisory Database

Uma vulnerabilidade é um problema no código de um projeto que poderia ser explorada para corromper a confidencialidade, a integridade ou a disponibilidade do projeto ou de outros projetos que usam o código. The GitHub Advisory Database contains a curated list of security vulnerabilities that have been mapped to any package tracked by the GitHub dependency graph. Each advisory listing includes information like the affected repository, as well as the vulnerable and patched versions. The database is also accessible using the GraphQL API. For more information, see the "security_advisory webhook event" in documentação do GitHub Developer.

We use the following sources to add vulnerabilities to the GitHub Advisory Database:

• The National Vulnerability Database
• A combination of machine learning and human review to detect vulnerabilities in public commits on GitHub
• Security advisories on GitHub
• FriendsOfPHP

GitHub will send you a security alert if we detect any of the vulnerabilities from the GitHub Advisory Database affecting your repository. Para obter mais informações, consulte "Sobre alertas de segurança para dependências vulineráveis"

Advisories from the National Vulnerability Database list will contain a link to the CVE record, where you can read more details about the vulnerability, its CVSS scores, and its qualitative severity level. For more information, see the "National Vulnerability Database" from the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

O nível de gravidade é um dos quatro níveis possíveis definidos no Sistema de pontuação de vulnerabilidade comum (CVSS, Common Vulnerability Scoring System), Seção 2.1.2:

• Baixo
• Moderado
• Alto
• Crítico

You can also join GitHub Security Lab to browse security-related topics and contribute to security tools and projects.

Accessing an advisory in the GitHub Advisory Database

1. Navegue até https://github.com/advisories.
2. Optionally, to filter the list use, any of the drop-down menus.
   
3. Click on any advisory to view details.

Searching the GitHub Advisory Database

You can search the database, and use qualifiers to narrow your search to advisories created on a certain date, in a specific ecosystem, or in a particular library.

Date formatting must follow the ISO8601 standard, which is YYYY-MM-DD (year-month-day). You can also add optional time information THH:MM:SS+00:00 after the date, to search by the hour, minute, and second. That's T, followed by HH:MM:SS (hour-minutes-seconds), and a UTC offset (+00:00).

Dates support greater than, less than, and range qualifiers.
